It is so sad that the word “prostitute” was used as the main descriptor for these women. Yet in the same sentences the men were just that, men. Why not “John” “sex trafficker” “solicitor of prostitution” or “rapist”

[Alicia-fyje]

This is insane. I remember when this happened, I just had my baby.. she's now 13 years old and this is just now getting solved. Rest in peace to those souls.... this is heartbreaking.

Bro was an architect for a living, but his house is pitiful. Adds a whole new layer of creepy to this case.

Still breaks my heart Shannon's mom was killed by her own daughter after all she went through.What a life.😭

[WelshAmethystGirl]

It's such a shame that shanons sister would end up killing their mum

[ThatCrazyDogLady]

The FBI should've been called in immediately! The police chief James Burke needs to be held accountable.

The only thing Rex failed to boast about in the interview was that he was a serial killer.

[raymondkymsuttle]

He’s so enormous. Those poor women must’ve been beyond terrified.

[joannetaylor]

The journalists covering this story were/are incredible. They went above and beyond to tell the story of these victims and they never gave up.

[Tassie]

This doc is very well done - thoughtful, intelligent, even handed and respectful to those lost and the ones left behind. Thank you for producing such great work.

[misssunshine]

James Burke needs to be accountable for the disgusting police work!

[SumKnight-iwrw]

This story is more in depth than the one I had watched. Good video.

If it wasn't for Shannon's mother and John Ray the lawer the police would have swept it under the rug

[fionacole]

I can't get over that little baby wrapped up in a blanket dead in that brush, I'm amazed with America and how many babies are found dead dumped in bins, woods, brush, anywhere a murderer can dump them its extremely sad and just so f up...

[Crimejunkymaymay]

This was the best I've seen covering the entire story.

[tundrawomansays]

Condolences to the families, friends and communities who love these victims and continue to mourn their deaths. I’m sure your hearts are broken and I’m so sorry. I know it’s just from some Internet stranger but it’s no less genuine. May you find peace somewhere, somehow eventually.

So a witness says her Cop boyfriend drove one of the victims to Rex's home. A doctor working for the police called Shannon's family and claimed she was at his home. The head of that PD was arrested for meeting a sex worker in a park. Shannon called the police stating someone is trying to kill her. She runs away and somehow she died in a freak accident? I don't buy it. This is a very strange case

[angelmorrigan]

excellent documentary! it needs to be advertised better so that it is seen by more people! there are facts in it i had never heard before. may the victims families find peace, and may the killer of the other victims be brought to justice! 🖤🖤🖤

[villanelle]

This was a really well put together documentary. It had me hooked.

[Janadu]

What's interesting is that the brush was so thick and tough for LE to navigate, and yet the killer didn't seem to have a problem---apparently, even in the dark.
